Grimes is revealing assistance for Lizzo after the “About Damn Time” vocalist was implicated of unwanted sexual advances by her ex-dancers.
On Sunday (Aug. 6), the 35-year-old art pop vocalist required to social media sites to assess her favorable experiences with Lizzo, that is being sued by 3 of her previous back-up professional dancers for unwanted sexual advances as well as promoting an aggressive workplace, to name a few insurance claims.
“I love Lizzo. Not saying I don’t believe ppl when bad things happen, but I had dancers mistreated on my watch in ways I didn’t find out about until way later. Mebe s— is bad,” Grimes wrote on X (previously Twitter).
“But loyalty matters to me. Lizzo was kind to me and others for a decade before she was ‘cool,’ and she checked in in me when no one cared. I’ve only ever seen exemplary behavior from her, especially when everyone was hating on me and she was on top of the world. There was no reason for her to check in, besides to be a good person. Just my two cents.”
Grimes included, “I recall when she first blew up being so happy because I’d never known such an admirable person to find fame in the music industry. I struggle to believe she would have so radically changed tired of a culture that seeks to destroy it’s greatest virtues. Lizzo is amazing.”
In the issue submitted Tuesday (Aug. 1), professional dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams as well as Noelle Rodriguez implicate Lizzo as well as her Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc. of a vast array of legal misbehavior, consisting of, body-shaming, racial as well as spiritual discrimination, as well as being pressed to touch naked professional dancers throughout an online sex program.
Oscar-chosen supervisor Sophia Nahli Allison additionally claimed separately on social media sites that she tipped far from helming the celebrity’s Love, Lizzo docudrama due to the fact that she “was treated with such disrespect by her.”
Lizzo’s statement in response to the claim identified the insurance claims as “false” as well as “sensationalized stories.”
“I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be these last few days,” she created on Instagram. “I am very open with my sexuality and expressing myself but I cannot accept or allow people to use that openness to make me out to be something I am not.”
Grimes’ encouraging declaration was tested by one X customer, that created, “Grimes it’s because you’re rich and wealthy and have influence, Lizzo is a classist abuser who doesn’t believe people ‘on her level’ deserve respect.”
The “You’ll Miss Me When I’m Not Around” vocalist reacted, keeping in mind that Lizzo “was nice to me before [Elon Musk] when she blew up and I was still indie as f—. She was nice to me in like 2012 before anyone cared abt either of us. She checked in while I was cancelled a f while I was pregnant when most people abandoned me because they didn’t want the association, she was kind when was only a liability to her. I respect that hardcore. That’s a good person.”

I like Lizzo. Not claiming I do not think ppl when negative points take place, however I had actually professional dancers abused on my watch in means I really did not learn about till method later on. Mebe crap misbehaves. But commitment matters to me. Lizzo respected me as well as others for a years prior to she was “cool”, as well as…
